What it’s about

  1. MeetRun together.

    At a pace that suits you, in your own group. You’ll finish with people you didn’t know at nine o’clock.

  2. TasteTaste the city.

    Hague bakers, each showing what they do best. Their signature, or a special just for this morning.

  3. RunMore than a run.

    Through the green, along the water and right across the city. And at the end: coffee.

Pick your pace

Four groups of up to 25, each with a pacer. Nobody runs alone. The Hague’s Finest Cafe is open from 8:30. A group starts every 10 minutes, beginning with Tompoes (custard slice).

Fairly shared

A ticket costs €15. Most of it goes straight to the bakers who spoil you along the way. A tenth goes to the Voedselbank Haaglanden, the local food bank.

The good cause

Good food for everyone

Food for everyone, and preferably good food. You run past the best bakers in the city. Not everyone in The Hague has that choice. That’s why a tenth of every ticket goes to the Voedselbank Haaglanden, the local food bank.

After each edition I transfer the amount, and the thank-you post shows exactly what was sent. If a baker sponsors their share, that goes there too.

Per edition
up to €150
Per year · 2 editions
up to €300

Based on 100 full spots. With fewer runners, it’s 10% of what comes in.

Why I’m doing this

Hi, I’m Arn. A few years ago I started running. Now I run whenever it suits me: through the city, through the dunes, through Meijendel. At home I bake bread and buns, just for myself. I love craft: people making something with care, with their hands.

Everywhere I saw themed runs pop up: a Beaujolais run, a Belgian beer marathon, sushi runs. So I thought: why not combine my two hobbies? That’s how the Bun Run began. Nothing complicated: running a lap together past nice places, with people who enjoy that as much as I do.

There’s no club or company behind it, just me, and in each group a runner wearing the pacer button. So it’s small, and that’s how I want to keep it: up to a hundred runners, the tastiest bakers, one great morning.

Cheers, Arn

Questions

Is it definitely happening? And when do I pay?

Yes, the date is set: Saturday 21 November. You pay right when you sign up: €15, with iDEAL or Wero, through a bunq payment link. Once you’ve paid, your spot is confirmed. Pay with the same name as your registration, so I can match your payment.

Is it a race?

No. No timing, no results, no medal. You run in a group at a set pace, and we wait for each other at every bakery.

Can I manage 15 km?

The route is 15 km, at your group’s pace, with stops at the bakeries along the way. If you normally run 8 to 10 km, you’ll be fine. Pick the group where you can still chat.
